No significant independent coverage, failure to meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for musicians. Also, the use of IMDb website tells us a lot. Old-AgedKid (talk) 08:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete- Getting a song into one episode of a TV show was a nice break, but building an article around that one achievement violates WP:BLP1E. Otherwise she gets occasional softball interviews in specialist magazines (e.g. [1]) but she seems to be a local/regional musician with little reliable media coverage. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:08, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - there is a lot more coverage out there, including one of her albums being named one of the best country albums of the year by Rolling Stone. Also added PopMatters and Houston Press references. There's more out there. I'll try to improve as I have time. Nnev66 (talk) 16:04, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep also found an AllMusic staff written bio here which together with the references from Rolling Stone, Pop Matters and others shows a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view Atlantic306 (talk) 20:59, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Herald (Benison) (talk) 09:04, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep (changed vote) - Changing my vote above because the musician was profiled in Rolling Stone, though her reliable sources are still a little scant. There may be enough for a stub article that can be improved over time. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
